during crossing-over

During crossing-over, segments of DNA are exchanged between non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes. Notice how this can result in an allele  A  on one chromosome being moved to the other chromosome. The four chromatids compose the tetrad, with a chiasma at the point of exchange.
